When you were in school, did you like the story, Clara? Or exact science? I loved both and was a very diligent student. Math - because there is order, everything is clear. And the story - because nothing has changed, people remain the same. Louis XIV, the sun King, I admired most of all. And he's like you and me, you know? In his reign there were two phases are very different: one evil and bloody, and the second - peace, noble...
Two stages that affected the country on the whole continent, the lives of millions of people. Do you know why he has changed so drastically?
Fistula, Clara, fistula, nothing more and nothing less. Everything changed when the doctors of the king saved him from a small fistula of the rectum, which complicated his life. Everything has changed so seriously that some historians divide his reign on "fistulam ante" and "post fistulam"...
I love history because it teaches us about life, Clara. What happened with Louis, teaches us that our happiness or sorrow is determined the smallest details...
